He can score goals. “For him to have the best opportunity of success at Old Trafford, Pogba needs to be playing in the final third of the pitch as much as possible.”Pogba managed nine goals in 51 appearances for United last season, with only five of those coming in the Premier League. He also managed just five assists in all competitions, with it clear that there is more to come from him if used in the right position and given the freedom in which to express himself.Matic should offer that, as a two-time title winner and a performer well versed in the demands of the English top-flight.</blockquote>
